Penetration Testing Services

Your organization’s data and networks are under siege by cyber criminals. As a security-conscious organization, you continually try to protect against the many threats and vulnerabilities facing your cyber assets. How confident are you that your protective measures are effective against current and emerging cyberattacks?

The way cyber professionals recommend to gauge the effectiveness of your cyber defenses – your equipment, protocols, and people – is to test your security. As Rob Joyce, head of the National Security Agency’s Tailored Access Operations (the U.S. government’s top hacking team) noted during a conference earlier in the year,

Kroll offers sophisticated penetration testing solutions that help you safely replicate the potential actions of a malicious attacker. We can look at your organization’s systems and protocols holistically, from the viewpoint of both an attacker, and a responder. Our findings can help give your organization a more accurate understanding of its cyber security weaknesses, thereby enabling you to identify and fortify vulnerable areas.

At the conclusion of our penetration testing services, we provide substantive evidence of vulnerabilities and recommendations for effective countermeasures to reduce your risk. This allows your company to take action before a cyber intruder can compromise your system and steal sensitive and valuable data.

Our approach

Kroll’s penetration testing services include the following phases:

Project Initiation

During the project initiation stage, Kroll’s team of experts works with your team to develop objectives and goals, and communicate our understanding of the scope of engagement.

Information and Intelligence-Gathering

Throughout the information and intelligence-gathering phase, Kroll collects data about your company and employees using reconnaissance techniques to identify potential attacking points. Our extensive review includes examining public websites, social media, domain registries, and metadata.

Threat Modeling Exercise

A threat modeling exercise – which looks at both internal assets and external threats – identifies targets of interest to attackers. This phase is a comprehensive technical risk assessment for applications, allowing your company to identify potential security threats and develop mitigation strategies for these vulnerabilities.

Attack Execution

During the attack execution stage, we attempt to gain access to your company’s environment using methods employed by real-life adversaries. The attack targets your IT infrastructure, websites, applications, and employees to identify potential vulnerabilities that could enable bad actors to gain internal access to your systems.

Reporting and Consultancy

Finally, the reporting and consultancy phase summarizes our actions and describes weaknesses that were found as well as what strong security controls are in place. We provide analysis and conclusions to help your business understand the methods attackers use and how you can be better prepared for future attacks.

Companies worldwide trust Kroll to conduct robust penetration testing that delivers valuable insight into the state of their cyber defenses as well as practical, sensible solutions for strengthening information security. Drawing on our extensive experience investigating a myriad of types and sizes of data breaches, we are able to simulate the real-world techniques used by attackers. Our customized approach means that testing focuses on your company’s high-risk assets and the risk profile of your organization. Ultimately, our goal is to identify and prioritize your organization’s risks and work together to build a manageable plan to strengthen your security defenses.
